Vitamin D
Divi’s extensive D2 and D3 portfolio for a variety of applications
About Vitamin D
The benefits of vitamin D are multiple and well documented. Beyond its importance for immunity, it plays an active role in bone health and helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is also essential for muscle and cognitive functions as well as for cell division and healthy teeth. Vitamin D health benefits attract increasing consumers’ interest and the market is expected to continue to grow rapidly over the next years.
- Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is obtained by UV radiation from a yeast sterol. This form is also present in nature, for example in mushrooms exposed to the sun. Its plant origin makes it particularly suitable for vegan diets.
- Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is produced from the lanolin present in the wool of sheep. It is the form which is naturally synthesized in the body after exposure to UV rays. Most of the supplements and fortified foods contain vitamin D3.
Given the importance of vitamin D, the FDA requires vitamin D content on all nutrition fact labels since the beginning of 2021.
